The news conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., a news release said. The release did not detail the agreement, but said it would be historic.
A release from Tejon Ranch said the agreement involved major environmental groups.
The Mountain Enterprise, a newspaper for residents of the mountain communities around Tejon Ranch, reported that the deal would have the Sierra Club and several other major environmental groups agreeing not to oppose the ranch’s plans to develop its Tejon Mountain Village and Centennial projects.
Tejon Ranch is home to numerous plant and animal species.
Also, the Tejon Ranch Company is working on a master-planned community of 23,000 homes just south of the Kern County line and a 28,000-acre resort community.
Construction of the Tejon Industrial Center, a 606,000-square-foot industrial spec building on the west side of Interstate 5 was completed earlier this year.
